Hello,

There are multiple possibilities with lupus being the primary diagnosis. Cellulitis could be due to low immunity and delayed wound healing due to poor blood supply to the foot area.

Also it could be due to drugs that cause immunosuppression which then causes increased susceptibility to infections.

There may be bullous lupus, the dermal manifestation of lupus. I suggest you to visit your doctor to rule out these possibilities and get the desired treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
